28 Funny Design Fails That Should Come With A Public Apology
Some design fails are so spectacularly bad, they feel less like accidents and more like personal attacks. You look at them and think, “Surely this had to be a joke,” but nope. Someone got paid to do that.
From signs that accidentally say the worst possible thing to products that look like a sleep-deprived raccoon designed them, these are the kinds of choices that make you question the entire creative process.
If you’ve ever felt like you were bad at your job, just remember: at least you’re not the person who thought that any of these were a good idea.
